The Crowning with Thorns
The Crowning with Thorns is the third of the five Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary, prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays.
And stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him. And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.
